Drawing A Clear Line

Lucas glanced at Ethan but said nothing.

Ethan was kneeling on the floor and begging bitterly.

Bruce couldn't stand it any longer and ridiculed, "Ethan Sawyer, you're really thick-skinned! After betraying us, you went to flatter the Hamiltons. But I bet you didn't expect him not to want you, did you?

"You failed to cozy up to the Hamiltons, and now you're trying to seek Mr. Gray's forgiveness and protection? Hah, you must be dreaming!"

Edmund said disdainfully, "Hah, Ethan Sawyer, you're just a disgusting traitor who's an absolute disgrace to all people! You failed to pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons, and now you turned out and begged Mr. Gray instead. What do you think Mr. Gray is? Do you think he's someone who will take you in after someone else has abandoned you?"

The two of them spoke extremely mercilessly, causing Ethan to turn pale before blushing again. His entire face stung and burned.
